Hyacinth were my grandma's favorite! I often gave her potted hyacinth for Mother's Day or Easter when I was little girl and to this day when I close my eyes I can smell them. Spring is definitely in bloom in your yard! I love the view you and George had from your lodge. Wow. Hope you two lovebirds are just doing great!!

Some are better than my camera - - - but my camera is getting older. When you look at your vacation photos, they just transport you back there emotionally, don't they?!!! It's wonderful you both have the time and opportunity to do the traveling. God does pile on the blessings abundantly at times!!!

Wow, I am impressed. I love the fuchsia hyacinth, but even more, the little purple crocus. I got my first smart phone last summer, a Samsung Galaxy. I bought a refurbished one and it is as good as new. By buying and paying a little bit of a heftier price for a used phone, we could then go on the prepaid plan with no contract and are only paying about $50.00 a month for unlimited everything.Ginny Hartzlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09329131153403895625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3915113069723845995.post-28662038174058389342014-04-02T13:45:31.363-05:002014-04-02T13:45:31.363-05:00Hi Betsy!

I know the new buyers of my former lake house will be happy to see pink tulips and lots of jonquils in bloom there! This would be the fourth year for the bulbs I left in place so I think they would be very pretty. I do miss bulbs. They do not grow well here to naturalize. Have a wonderful day and enjoy your beautiful yards!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
